Pity the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets, two solid teams trying to make headway in this race filled with thoroughbreds. The good news in all this is that with such tight competition, odds will favor the bettor and there should always be good wagering to be had.

Best NHL Central Division Sportsbook Odds

The NHL Central Division teams can win in a variety of ways. The Chicago Blackhawks are star-studded, but their defense is solid and their goaltending is vastly underrated. [+]

The St. Louis Blues can match the Blackhawks in just about every facet. No team can outscore the Dallas Stars. Defense is the trademark of the Minnesota Wild, and for years, it was the same with the Nasvhille Predators, but recently they’ve added an up-tempo attacking style to go with their solid checking.

With all of these varying styles, it makes for entertaining hockey and from a wagering standpoint offers great opportunity to hit a pay day.

How To Make Money Betting On Central Division

A club like the Chicago Blackhawks is a proven winner, while the St. Louis Blues and Nashville Predators are seeking to assure they belong in the same category. The Dallas Stars are on the move up and can run and gun and outscore any team in the NHL. The Minnesota Wild are checking fiends.

When the young Colorado Avalanche and Winnipeg Jets gain some more maturity, this division will be without question from top to bottom the toughest in all of the NHL. If you can survive the NHL Central Division, you’re quite the hockey team. But as a bettor, you don’t have to beat the teams in the NHL Central. You just have to beat the odds.
